>From my interpretation of what Chris has said about this, it would be the former (centralized repo with a master branch that everyone pushes to).  I agree with that.  We have a development process that works well, and I see no compelling reasons to change it.

Personally I think our current system is a very nice middle ground.  We get nice sequential revision numbers from svn, and behind the scenes everyone can go crazy with git.  It's a little awkward to set up a new repo that pulls from the git mirrors and also lets you use git-svn dcommit to push back, but that's a minor nuisance AFAICT.
